Im getting close to getting my car running, and so its time for a fuel system. My main question is how do I connect the rubber line to the steel line? I found this thread here: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?87300-LS1-Fuel-line-(stainless-hard-line-to-rubber-hose-help)!! and post #3 seems to have the answer, so I looked at the Summit fitting and it says nothing about a pressure rating, but the Jegs equivalent I had already found says:
Rated @ 55 psi maximum (make sure that the tubing utilized meets or exceeds this rating).
Not for use on multi-port fuel injection.

Seems a little contradictory to me, but since my pump only makes about 43 psi, I should be ok, right? If it makes any difference Im using a roll of 3/8" galvanized steel line.
Since I think this is my first or one of my first posts here, this is what Im building:

Its got a rebuilt 302 with lightly ported iron gt40 heads, stock H.O. cam, 1.7 rr, gt40 intake with a ported lower and 65mm tb, shorty headers, new t5z (since apparently used t5's dont exist in this region), and a 9" with a 3.55 single tire fire.
